Objective To observe the effect of feedforward control combined with quality feedback in PICC complications in long-term hospitalized patients over 80 years old.Methods A total of 176 patients over 80 years old who received PICC catheterization in the geriatric ward of a tertiary hospital from April 2019 to December 2022 were se-lected as the study subjects.According to the time sequence before and after PICC catheterization,a total of 83 patients with catheterization from April 2019 to March 2021 were selected as the control group,a total of 83 patients with cathe-terization from April 2021 to December 2022 were in the observation group.The control group was given routine nursing after catheterization,and the observation group was given feedforward control combined with quality feedback manage-ment on the basis of routine nursing after catheterization.The incidence of complications and unplanned extubation after PICC catheterization were compared between the two groups.Results The incidence of complications in observation group was 12.05%,which was lower than that in control group(25.30%),the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05);the incidence of unplanned extubation due to complications in observation group was 2.41%,lower than that in control group(14.46%),the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusions The method based on feedforward control combined with quality feedback can effectively reduce the occurrence of complications after PICC catheterization in long-term hospitalized elderly patients,and reduce the unplanned extubation events caused by complications.
